My puppy ate pine needles and has diarrhea. How to ease her tummy?

He might have eaten something spoiled that is causing this. withhold food for 8 hours then offer him boiled boneless chicken and rice every 4-6 hours in small portions. if he is eating and not vomiting, continue with this diet for 2 days. After 2 days, you can put him back gradually on his normal food. If he continues vomiting or is not eating, take him to the vet to get treatment.

Thank you for your questions about Pippy. Many things can make pet's have an upset stomach: parasites, new foods/treats, viral infections, eating something they shouldn't have, toxins, organ disease or even intestinal blockage. The pine cones will generally only cause a problem if they are ingested. They will cause a blockage and this typically appears as vomting, not wanting to eat and being lethargic. The main concern I see if how small Pippy is. Small breed puppies are prone to low blood sugar (which is an emergency) so you really have to make sure they are eating and drinking normally. I generally recommend any pet that has been sick beyond 24 hours to see a veterinarian and that whats I recommend to Pippy too. She's been sick for 2 days and she is very small. Try to get her seen today and bring in a stool sample. The doctor will likely check her for more common reasons like parasites but may recommend further diagnostics. Also, switch her to a bland diet of 25% boiled white meat chicken and 75% plain boiled white rice. Feed her this for a few days as it will help to intestines to relax more. I hope this helps to point you in the right direction. Please feel free to post any additional questions!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! She should be evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. This could be because she has developed a gastrointestinal obstruction or has gastrointestinal upset for example. I recommend that you have Chloe evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. They would be able to check for these abnormalities so that she can be treated accordingly. Best of luck!

Three days of diarrhea is typically when I would recommend seeing a veterinarian. You could try a bland diet like 25% plain, boiled chicken breast and 75% plain white rice for a day to see if the diarrhea resolves, but if it continues, if you see any blood, or if Rust has been vomiting or has a decreased appetite you should see a vet.

Pine needles and bark are not toxic, but the needles contain some oil that can cause irritation to the the stomach. You may see a decreased appetite, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea. If these occur for longer than 24 hours, Luna should see a vet for treatment. If she eats a large amount of bark and/or pine needles, it could cause more severe damage internally and potentially cause painful constipation. If she seems in distress when trying to have a bowel movement, she should see a vet for treatment. I would try to prevent her from eating this. You can try to fence off the shrub, take Luna out on a leash, or remove the shrub. It is possible that she will outgrow it, but this breed tends to get themselves into trouble by eating inappropriate things for several years!

Withhold food for 12-24 hours. Allow small amounts of water or unflavored PediaLyte. Resume feeding a bland diet (1:1 ratio of plain boiled boneless chicken and plain white rice). Feed in small, frequent amounts waiting at least one hour between feedings. If the vomiting stops, transition slowly to the regular diet. If not or if she develops other symptoms (diarrhea, lethargy, loss of appetite, etc.), see your veterinarian.

Apparently the earthworm protein is not compatible with your dog's digestion. I suggest you take him off all food for 12 hours and then feed him boiled white rice with boiled white boneless chicken in small quantities over several feeds a day. Do this for 2 days, then slowly transition back to his normal dog food over two or three days. By then the diarrhea should have stopped. Make sure he has plenty of water available at all times. Should he deteriorate or should the diarrhea get bloody, you will need to take your dog to a vet for an exam and treatment,
